Has there ever been a US election race this close? | DW News

The United States elects a new president in just under two weeks, and the two candidates are on a bruising schedule of campaign events focusing on the key swing states. And as election day approaches the tone of the debate is becoming increasingly strident. Polls are indicating this election will be one of the closest in US history - neither candidate has a significant lead in the national vote, and polls in the key swing states are also close. We spoke with Justin Higgins, a communications consultant who's worked for Democrats AND Republicans, on how to interpret the plethora of data.

FOX News takes pride in its work and is credible? WTF! What world do you live in buddy.

It's so neck and neck the democrats are in a complete panic

[mxionis]

You are pro democrat Higgins in this report.. and Trump is not a fascist looking at history and facts. And using such hatred words is a desperation tactic and nonsense!

[DubaiAbayaStore]

It is important to remember that Donald Trump is respected worldwide for his commitment to promoting peace. Through his diligent efforts to secure borders and bring your troops home from Afghanistan, he has succeeded in reuniting countless families who have been separated due to prolonged deployments. This has brought joy and relief to fathers, brothers, husbands, mothers, and daughters who have eagerly awaited their loved ones' return.

"RealClearPolitics? Oh you shouldn't listen to them, they're biased. By the way, check out this tweet from me that clearly shows I'm a democrat, giving my absolutely unbiased view on the polls!"

The better question is has the US ever been this divided? Feels like the US is ripe for a civil war

Best guess is it’s not really close and Trump will win.

[kondojuchandrashekar]

American's are Wise people who will definitely elect Trump as the President of USA, as Trump was instrumental in funding of corona vaccine discovery in USA.Trump is the Ray Of Hope for Americans to make USA great again.

[RichValrek]

Whaaaat? Neck and neck? What a joke. Obviously your poles suck!

[John-.-Smith]

None of the Above.
None of the Above.
None of the Above.

This is what one should check on the ballot.

[christineherrmann]

It's not that close, DW. Bad headline. You clearly did your research and had in someone to explain that a lot of the later polls have been pushed by GOP pollsters. National polling by reputable pollsters have held steady. You need to talk about what we're seeing in early voting.

[bogdar]

If this will be close, we all know what is going on

[JeffSichoe]

I asked chat gpt and said she was jamaican and indian not african american ?

[MrKeyframes]

It's not even close to be honest.

[the-chipette]

The fact that it’s so close is embarrassing for the Dems.

[johnnycash]

This will not be close. Women in KS and OH have already shown how this will play out. Roevember will be no surprise but media outlets have to say it’s close to get more eyes on programs. And, of course, to get new revenue

[E.M.Favour]

I wish there is a bigger twist to this election and people just end up voting for another candidate better than these two . Instead of reshuffling the same
leaders .

[Sub-klxp]

It's not neck and Trump is winning by far

[Wolfcamp]

They've repeatedly said they weren't going to allow him back in the whitehouse, regardless who wins.
